This was a great opportunity for Friends Thailand to build capacity in youth through training young Thai people to understand the many risks they face and to go on to share the positive actions they can take to mitigate those risks with their peers afterwards.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
